## TL;DR

Webhook delivery logs help agents separate missing events, failed receivers, duplicate callbacks, and provider retry behavior.

## Core Explanation

Agents debugging event-driven systems should inspect provider delivery history before changing application code. A missing downstream action might come from a failed endpoint, a retry still in progress, an event outside retention, or a duplicate event already processed.

The safe workflow is to preserve the event ID, delivery ID, endpoint URL, HTTP status, response body, retry count, timestamp, and provider redelivery action. Agents should not blindly replay events without checking idempotency and side effects.
